That's interesting John. Now I've got to speak up and my twists to this situation. I've been monitoring this thread because I have similar issues after my 30k miles service, and leaning my car out. I've probably leaned it out tooo much, but I was trying to find out why I only get 15 city mpg; how hard I drive makes almost no difference. Early morning or four hour parked starts smell very gassy and run rough, almost bad timing-like. I did have a bad vacuum hose on the timing advance unit, but that is fixed. I'm thinking something else is losing vacuum and it takes time to build it back up after starting? Say the system loses vacuum-- how long does it take the system to get it back up? And if you lose vacuum in one part, does it effect other parts, like the air mode switch? Hmmm, reminds me that last summer I had starting issues if the car had been sitting in the hot sun for all day. Never did solve that, it just became less of an issuel. Is that the fuel accumulator? Could that be working in tandem or is that my real problem? -----Original Message----- From: John Hervey [mailto:john@xxxx] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 11:23 PM To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [DML] Re: Stalls after starting As David says the CPR ( Control Pressure regulator ) Warm up regulator could be going bad, but also the 02 adjustment could be adjusted to lean not allowing the control plunger in the fuel distributor to rise high enough. If it doesn't rise then very little or no gas goes to the injectors. If you try to start it and it dies, Then pull a plug as fast as you can and see if it's wet or dry.
